Video chatting has never been easier. There's Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts, even most IM clients support video chat at this point. If you want something a bit better than the camera that's probably built into your laptop or desktop though, you'll need a new webcam. Last week, we asked you which webcams you thought were worth buying. Then we took a a look at the five best webcams, based on your nominations. We put them to a vote, and now we're back to highlight the overall winner.

The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 stole the show with over 51% of the overall vote, taking the top spot by a broad margin. Even though it's pricey, you all praised its true 1080p video and call quality, exceptional still photos, autofocus, and built-in stereo noise-isolation microphone. Money well spent.

In second place with close to 17% of the vote was the Logitech HD Webcam C270, an affordable option that gets the job done and makes for a great Hackintosh camera. Just behind it in third with close to 16% of the vote was the Microsoft LifeCam Studio, Microsoft's high-end webcam that's notable for its glass front and adjustable neck. Behind it in fourth place was Microsoft's LifeCam Cinema with 9% of the vote, a slight step down from the Studio in features and price, and in fifth place was Microsoft's entry-level webcam, the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000, bringing in close to 8% of the votes cast.

The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
